'The Walking Dead' Season 7 TRAILER: 3 Things We Learned From San Diego Comic Con Debut Clip [VIDEO]
Fans obviously didn't get a look or even a chance to attempt figuring out which character was killed off when Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) smashed their head in with his barbed wire baseball bat Lucille, but the first season 7 trailer for The Walking Dead does reveal a few other things about the upcoming episodes.
The trailer, which debuted at San Diego Comic Con on July 22 and revealed that the show returns on October 23, started off by replaying Negan's game of "eenie meenie miney mo" and showing all of his potential victims in the lineup-Glenn (Steven Yuen), Maggie (Lauren Cohan), Daryl (Norman Reedus), Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Carl (Chandler Riggs), Abraham (Michael Cudlitz), Sasha (Sonequa Martin-Green), Rosita (Christian Serratos), Michonne (Danai Gurira), Aaron (Ross Marquand) and Eugene (Josh McDermitt)--but then carefully makes sure not to show any of them again for the rest of the clip.
So unless they make a slip-up in some way, that secret will remain closely guarded. However, we did learn the following three things from the trailer:
The Kingdom Will Officially Be Introduced
Another new community will come into the fold of ones that have popped up since the apocalypse hit. The Kingdom will join The Hilltop, Alexandria, and Negan's compound as ones in the area, and it will be where the story picks up again for Carol (Melissa McBride) and Morgan (Lenny James), who were not in Negan's lineup.
Tara & Heath's Mission Could Prove To Be Deadly For Them
Tara (Alanna Masterson) and Heath (Corey Hawkins) were also exempt from the Negan lineup because they've been on a mission outside of the area (which was written in to accommodate Masterson's pregnancy). However, they won't necessarily be safe just because they're not there, as someone appears to be hunting them towards the end of the trailer.
Negan Is Seriously Crazy
There wasn't much doubt that Negan might be a psychopath who loves to rule, but for those who didn't think the Lucille incident was enough, the rest of the trailer proves it with how he runs things.
The Walking Dead returns October 23 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
